Laning Against Olaf

Olaf is incredibly strong in the early game: especially at level 1. Avoid fighting him at all costs as he will beat you if he’s able to land multiple Undertow Q’s.

If Olaf throws his Undertow Q and it’s close to you, try your best to zone him away from the thrown Axes Q so he is unable to pick them up.

Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map to reduce his ability to all-in you and chase you down.

Olaf Power Spikes

Olaf is a dominant laner and can easily get kills at level 1 and 2 with his Undertow Q spam. Avoid fighting him early on.

Once Olaf hits level 6, it will be difficult for you to kill him or lock him down with CC. Don’t commit to using any hard CC abilities when you know his Ultimate Ragnarok R is up.

As soon as Olaf completes his first item, he is going to deal tons of damage. Make sure you play respectfully and only trade with him if his Undertow Q is down (or he is unable to pick up an Axe Q).
